People with food allergies to wheat and soy flour, whey and milk run the risk of serious or life-threating allergic reaction if they consume these products, the FDA said.

No illnesses have been connected to the problem.

The butterballs were immediately relabeled in the warehouse as well as the retail stores. Relabeled product has the allergens listed in the lower left hand corner of the label.
